After the meal, Cheng Wuting and his lieutenants chatted with Xue Shao for a while, and they all found their own reasons to slip away, leaving Xue Shao and Yuenu alone.

The man's thoughts, everyone knows it.

Yue Nu forced a calm and casual appearance, but his face was always red and simple, and he almost didn't dare to look at Xue Shao squarely.

"What are you doing in Shuozhou?" Xue Shao asked, his voice neither cold nor hot.

The moon slave looked a little timid, and whispered, "No...... What's the matter? ”

"I thought your stepfather had entrusted you with important news - what are you doing here?!" Xue Shao scolded, "Do you think this is Chang'an, and you can go from house to house to join relatives?" This is the front line, this is the battlefield! ”

"I'm not afraid of ......" Yue Nu whispered, she rarely collided with Xue Shao, this was almost her most "fierce" mouthflip.

"I'm afraid!" Xue Shao snorted, "There will be a war here at any time, and there will be deaths at any time!" When the cities of Shuozhou and Daizhou were broken, the Turks killed thousands of people! Didn't you see when you came all the way, many counties, towns and villages have become uninhabited land, and there are corpses eaten by wild wolves and jackals everywhere. I fled with the people and the defeated soldiers, dropping down thousands of corpses along the way—thousands, you know?! ”

"......" Yue Nu lowered his head and let Xue Shao scold.

"As soon as it dawns tomorrow, I will leave to return to the state immediately." Xue Shao lowered his tone and said calmly.

"Childe, you are especially not afraid of death with the dignity of the heavenly spring, why do you regret to live and die with Childe?" "I didn't know what Childe had done in the army. A few days ago, I met a few people who had fled from the north and returned from the north, where they praised a general named Chengyu. Now both the military and the people of the state are spreading your name and deeds. I inquired with those people, and only then did I find out what happened to you before. Childe, I'm terrified, how can you be so dangerous? ”

"Why are you talking so much today?" Xue Shao frowned.

Yuenu lowered his head again, and whispered, "Childe forgives ...... sins."

"Forget it...... What else do you want to say, once you finish speaking, you will leave early tomorrow. Xue Shao said.

"Yuenu just wants to say a word!" The moon slave bit her lip and her eyes rolled, "Ask Gongzi to keep me by his side!" ”

"Not really." Xue Shao refused without hesitation, and said very seriously: "I'm really not joking with you. Don't look at it at this moment, the city of Shuozhou is very quiet, and there is no wind and grass outside the Great Wall. Soldiers are impermanent, and perhaps when you least expect it, thousands of Turkic soldiers will attack. In case the city is broken...... You can't imagine how tragic that was. I can't imagine what it would be like for you to encounter the Turkic rebels. Not only will you not be able to help me in the slightest, but it will also make me feel uneasy, you know? ”

"Yue Nu Zhilu said...... "Yue Nu nodded lightly, "Then I'll leave tomorrow." ”

Xue Shao breathed a sigh of relief, his face softened a little, and said, "Yue Nu, I know your intentions. But on the front line and in the war, there really shouldn't be a woman. I know that you are a master of art and bold, but in the face of war, personal martial arts are meaningless. Especially since you are a woman, once you fall into the hands of the enemy, it is far more miserable than a man, and I don't think I need to explain it. So, you have to go, it's not negotiable! ”

"Yes......"

Xue Shao got up, "I have to go back to the barracks." ”

The moon slave was taken aback, "Childe is in a hurry to leave?" ”

"Or else?" Xue Shao said, "I just brought a brigade of recruits, and I am training them rigorously. How well the recruits of this brigade are trained has a direct bearing on my future and prospects in the army. Therefore, I must always take responsibility for the slightest, otherwise, I will not be able to pass the level in my heart. ”

"Didn't Gongzi just follow Pei Xingjian for a while, but he wanted to be a soldier from the bottom of his heart, and really wanted to share weal and woe with those ordinary guards?" Moon Nu asked.

"That's right. I am really determined to go down the road of Rongwu. As soon as I stepped into this barracks, I had forgotten my identity in Chang'an. Now I'm just a brigade commander who has just been promoted from a new recruit. Xue Shao nodded, "I must put down my shelf and take responsibility for myself, otherwise, it is impossible to lead good soldiers and really stand in the army." Maybe I can use deception and deception to win the hearts of the people under my command, but I can't collect a lifetime if I can collect it, and I can't collect an army if I can collect a brigade. The ancients said that small victories rely on wisdom, and big victories rely on virtue. ”

"Small victories rely on wisdom, and big victories rely on virtue...... Moon Nu understood. Yue Nu raised his eyes and looked at Xue Shao, with a lot of meaning in his eyes, with many indescribable emotions, distress and worries.

"Yuenu, I have always thought that you are the most considerate and the person who can make me feel at ease to trust." Xue Shao said, "I'll give you an answer today, Princess Taiping's concubine can't really be peaceful." Originally, I didn't want to be a colt at all, but by mistake, I came to this point. In the future, there are still many unknown troubles and dangers waiting for me. For the sake of self-preservation, for the sake of the future family, and for the sake of my brother, sister-in-law, younger brother, demon and your moon slave, all my family, I must make myself strong. If I just stay in Chang'an and mingle in the officialdom, I will never be able to throw away that hat of a horse, I will always be just a vassal of imperial power or a marginal person who eats idle food, and I will never really have the strength to protect myself - therefore, I must be based on the army and take root in the army, have real fame and influence in the army, truly learn to lead the army to fight, and be able to win the war! ”

Speaking of this, Xue Shao paused and said: "I want to change from a gentleman who flies eagles and lackeys all day long to an invincible general, no hard work, no seriousness, no hardship, no pay, okay?" ”

"Childe, I understand!" The moon slave listened carefully to every word, and nodded seriously after listening, but tears flowed down in a flutter, "I'm just a slave of Childe, but I don't want to be trusted by Childe like this, and I can hear Childe's heartfelt words!" After that, the moon slave is willing to go to the soup for the son, and he will not die! ”

Xue Shao smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, "General An, cry again." ”

"In front of Childe, I will always be just a moon slave!" The moon slave smiled hard, and the tears flowed again.

"Alright, I've got to go." Xue Shao smiled and said, "If you stay too long, General Cheng and those people will laugh at you." If it reaches the ears of my recruits, they will think that the commander of this brigade is usually dignified, but when he has a little free time, he hides alone in the city and is merry. ”

"......" Yuenu was stunned for a moment, then her face turned into a crimson and shy color, and she bit her lip and smiled annoyedly, "What's the matter?" Those stupid soldiers can still manage the private affairs of the official! ”

Saying this, Xue Shao's heart suddenly rippled. Look at the expression of the moon slave again...... Xue Shao couldn't help but think of the candle night in the cave room

"Don't mess around!" Xue Shao turned his face, "I've eaten this meal for a long time, I have to go back immediately." ”

"......" The moon slave bit her lip tightly and nodded slightly.

"I'm leaving." Xue Shao turned around and left.

"Childe!" The moon slave mustered up his courage and shouted.

"Anything else?" Xue Shao turned around and asked.

Yuenu's heart beat as if he had beaten a passionate war drum song, and he took a step forward bravely, and his voice trembled a little and whispered: "I...... Can I kiss you? ”

Xue Shao smiled, turned around and suddenly grabbed the face of the moon slave, and kissed her lips.

Yue Nu only felt that the "boom" in his mind suddenly turned blank, and his eyes widened to look at Xue Shao's face that could make all women feel like a deer, and was about to close his eyes and lightly open his teeth to meet Xue Shao's domineering and cunning tongue, Xue Shao suddenly let go of her, and walked away with a smile.

Leaving the moon slave alone, he touched his lips in a panic, and his mind seemed to be empty all at once, and there were no thoughts left.

Xue Shao returned to the camp prepared by Cheng Wuting for the Three Swords Brigade, which was not too far from the marching governor's mansion in Shuozhou City, and the tents were all new.

There were no figures moving around the camp, and Xue Shao could hear a large area of thunderous snoring from a distance.

Xue Chuyu greeted him alone, "Brigade Marshal, you're back." ”

Xue Shao nodded, "What about the others?" ”

"I fed and drank the recruits and slept with all of them." Xue Chuyu said, "In the past 20 days, they have all taken off three layers of skin. If you sleep this time, it is estimated that you may not be able to wake up at this time tomorrow. ”

"What about the veterans borrowed from the Brotherhood Brigade?" Xue Shao looked around and didn't see those people.

"I asked them to rest in another place in the city, and asked Guo Yuanzhen to find a way to entertain and thank them." Xue Chuyu said: "After all, they are not our soldiers, they have done their best to help us for more than 20 days, and they have all worked hard. ”

Xue Shao suddenly smiled, "This Shuozhou city is empty, what else can I entertain and thank?" Do you have money and women? ”

Xue Chuyu also smiled, "Then it depends on Guo Yuanzhen's ability." Don't forget, he was once a famous hero. He is the best at doing this kind of thing. ”

"Okay, it seems that you two helpers, I'm very good!" Xue Shao laughed twice, walked into the tent of the recruits, and snored loudly, all of them slept like dead pigs.

Xue Shao straightened a few crooked recruits and slept well, folded the quilts for many people, walked out, and said, "You say, how many of them will become generals?" ”

Xue Chuyu shook his head with a smile, "I hope even more that there will be fewer martyrs among them!" ”

"So, we're going to grind them even more brutally?"

"Yes!"
